Hi everybody. Have been lurking around here long enough. As I have obtained the majority of parts for this build right here, I thought I'd show you this.

This was built for my girlfriend. We went through countless RetroBike builds, looking for something she would like. As it turned out, she had a very clear idea of what she wanted and how she wanted the end result to look like. Main source of inspiration turned out to be stevetait's 1994 Zaskar. Thank you, Steve!

So this is what came out of our build. I'm very proud of this and the owner seems to be too. As you can see, it's 1x8. No front derailleur hassle! Slick tyres. Fast but comfy. Not exactly period correct, but that was not the goal. The spec list:

Current rims are almost worn out, so new wheels are being built as we speak. New wheels will have NOS X517 rims with M737 hubs. Then there are Middleburn RS3 cranks with a red 110 spider waiting, and a Kore Light seatpost and SR LowFat pedals. And lighter tyres too! And lots of titanium bolts! I'll take some pics when all is done.
